Introducing Galaxy Z TriFold: The Shape of What's Next in Mobile Innovation

The Galaxy Z Trifold takes premium performance and experience of an ultra phone to the next level by unfolding twice to reveal the most immersive screen on a phone, providing ultimate productivity of mobile workspace and cinematic viewing.

04 December 2025

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – December 2, 2025 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of Galaxy Z TriFold, expanding its leadership in new form factors for the era of mobile AI. The Galaxy Z TriFold delivers premium performance and experience of a flagship phone that is easily pocketable yet when unfolded twice reveals an expansive 10-inch display1. This new form factor features ultimate productivity and cinematic viewing in a portable form, ideal for those users who strive for best-in-class mobile phone experience.

“Samsung’s relentless pursuit of new possibilities continues to shape the future of mobile experiences,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience Division at Samsung Electronics. “Galaxy Z TriFold builds on Samsung’s legacy and delivers the next level of productivity on a premium device – expanding the boundaries of what’s possible for mobile work, creativity and connection.”

 

Shaping the Future with Decades of Mobile Expertise

 

Samsung has long led the mobile industry, from pioneering new categories and experiences including large screen devices, foldable form factors and how people use AI on a mobile device. Each innovation is created with the user in mind. Backed by state-of-the-art R&D, end-to-end manufacturing and rigorous quality control, Galaxy Z TriFold showcases how Samsung continues to set new benchmarks for a phone that maximises output while remaining portable.

 

In Samsung’s research and design process, understanding how people use devices drives innovation. Samsung’s decade-long experience of innovation in foldable phones inspired Galaxy Z TriFold’s unique multi-folding experience, which uses an inward-folding design to protect the main display. The folding mechanism has been precisely engineered for an easy open and close - there’s even an auto-alarm to alert the user of incorrect folding through a series of on-screen alerts and vibrations. Every detail is crafted with precision and purpose to deliver an intuitive, user-friendly experience.

 

Measuring just 3.9mm at its thinnest point2, Galaxy Z TriFold delivers flagship-level performance powered by the customised Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy3, 200MP camera4 and Samsung’s biggest battery ever in a foldable phone. The 5,600 mAh three-cell battery system5 has been placed each panel of the device for balanced power delivery, thermal management and all-day endurance. Combined with 45W super-fast charging6, Galaxy Z TriFold lets users stream, create and work without limits.

To balance the power of an ultra-quality device in a thin, portable frame, a re-optimisation of its core foldable technology was necessary. Every part of the device was crafted with deep attention to structural innovation and product assurance:

 

  • Samsung’s Most Advanced Hinges Yet: Drawing on its heritage in foldable phone innovation, Samsung refined the Armor FlexHinge to meet the unique demands of Galaxy Z TriFold. Two different sized hinges with a dual-rail structure work in harmony, creating a smoother, more stable fold despite varying weight and components across the device. The hinge structure also allows the screen panels to meet securely with minimal gap, enabling a thinner, more portable device.
  • Restructured Foldable Display: Galaxy Z TriFold introduces new display technology made for the 10-inch screen that folds twice into a pocketable phone. A reinforced overcoat has been added to a shock-absorbing display layer for better resistance across the dual-folding device.
  • Advanced Materials on the Exterior: The titanium hinge housing introduces a thin piece of metal that protects the folding mechanism and resists wear over time. The frame of the device is supported by Advanced Armor Aluminum7, a high-strength alloy to add rigidity without increasing bulk. The frame helps ensure that the screens don’t make contact with each other, and a ceramic-glass fibre–reinforced polymer back panel keeps the design thin yet resistant to cracks.
  • Each Device Receives Our Highest Quality Checks: Every unit goes through a series of strict quality checks to achieve every small requirement. For instance, CT scanning of the flexible printed circuit board verifies that it has been correctly manufactured according to the design, ensuring accuracy and reliability before bonding it together with the other internal display components. Laser scanning verifies that all internal components are mounted precisely at their intended height, securing surface quality.

 

Through design innovation, engineering excellence and high-quality standards, every device has been built to deliver the best user experience possible.

 

Samsung’s Most Versatile AI Phone, Powered by The Largest Screen

 

Productivity on Galaxy Z TriFold is heightened with powerful experiences customised for the 10-inch display - the largest screen on a Galaxy phone. Like the users who inspired its dynamic design, it’s powerful, versatile and ready for the modern AI era.

 

When Galaxy Z TriFold opens, the screen performs like three 6.5-inch smartphones across the 10-inch display, giving users more room to multitask during their day.8. Use the screen with endless versatility – create across three different portrait-sized apps side-by-side without interruption, resize apps in multi-window to view the most important information the largest, or hold it a vertical orientation when reviewing documents for improved focus9. Imagine an architect drafting design plans for a new home – on the large screen, they can use three applications at the same time, to review blueprints, write a proposal, and calculate measurements in a single, multi-window workspace. If a call comes in unexpectedly, they can answer without disrupting their layout or losing their momentum. When it’s time to jump back into work, the Taskbar at the bottom right of the display instantly resurfaces recently used apps, bringing the full setup back into view with a single tap. Familiar apps and features, such as My Files and Samsung Health have also been optimised for a large screen, letting users organise and understand insights at a glance.

To match the powerful capabilities a screen of this size can provide, Galaxy Z TriFold is the first mobile phone to have standalone Samsung DeX available on device so users can set up a full working environment from virtually anywhere. Head to the Quick Settings panel and select DeX for Galaxy’s most advanced work setup, featuring up to four workspaces that can each run five apps simultaneously. Users can review and edit a meeting presentation in one workspace and then quickly navigate to another to chat with friends and or shop online. And for even more productivity, users can add a secondary screen in Extended Mode, which enables a seamless dual-screen experience with an external monitor10. Easily drag and drop apps11 across screens, and work across both screens with desktop efficiency. Users also have the option to add a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, instantly creating the ultimate portable workstation for complex projects or creative designs.

 

Every detail of Galaxy Z TriFold is designed for excellence – and with Galaxy AI 12, those capabilities elevate it by making every feature more intuitive on a large screen. Features like Photo Assist including Generative Edit and Sketch to Image adapt to Galaxy AI flexibly with impressive scale, enabling users to capture and create with Samsung’s most versatile creative platform. Users can also easily compare before and after edits side by side. Browsing Assist can simplify how Samsung Internet is used as it can provide instant summaries or translations as needed. Gemini Live on Galaxy Z TriFold is enhanced with multimodal AI that understands what users see, say and do. Seamlessly type or speak contextual questions and get answers without having to switch between apps for high level multitasking. Use the bigger screen to get instant design advice: show it a room, a shopping site and paint swatches for a custom recommendation. And with screen or camera sharing on Gemini Live, users can simply ask questions about what they are viewing to get real-time assistance and insights – all on one device.

 

A Cinematic Viewing Experience Right in Your Pocket

 

Galaxy Z TriFold’s unique trifold form factor and its canvas-like 10-inch display unlocks not just more possibilities for creating and working, but perfect canvas for high-quality viewing of photo and video content.

 

Designed for maximum viewing with greater portability, its expansive main screen is perfect for getting lost in movies or shows. For an extended YouTube experience, users can now watch a video and read the comments side-by-side. Minimised creasing keeps content seamless and uninterrupted, and once closed, its slim profile allows it to slide easily back into any pocket.

Drawing on Samsung’s expertise in visual display, the device provides silky-smooth visuals on a Dynamic 2X AMOLED cover screen with up to 120Hz refresh rates13. Galaxy Z TriFold features a bright display both opened and closed, with up to 2600 nits on the cover display and 1600 nits on the main screen. With Vision Booster optimising colour and contrast in any lighting, every image and frame comes to life in vivid detail, creating a truly immersive experience.
